65 Crestwood Road is a home that can become exactly what you want it to be. Contemporary. Traditional. Transitional. Sophisticated or comfortably understated. The architecture, proportions, natural light and extraordinary setting provide the foundation; the next owner brings the vision. Carefully positioned on 1.27 acres on Sunset Mountain, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence captures sweeping mountain ridges, downtown Asheville and remarkable western sunsets through expansive windows throughout the home. Original hardwood floors, natural stone, custom woodwork and dramatic skylights create warmth and character, while generous rooms and clean architectural lines lend themselves beautifully to a fresh contemporary interpretation. The main-level primary suite offers ease of living and direct access to the outdoors. Three additional bedrooms and flexible living spaces on the lower level open directly to the gardens, making the floor plan equally suited to family, guests, work-from-home space or multigenerational living. Outside, the experience is exceptional. Expansive porches and terraces overlook established perennial gardens, meandering walking paths and the mountains beyond. A two-car garage, porte-cochère and generous outdoor spaces add to the everyday livability. Designed by architect Jan Wiegman and constructed by Abbott Construction, the home was created around its setting—and that relationship remains its greatest strength. The views, acreage, gardens, stone and location are already here. What happens inside can be entirely your own. Minutes from downtown Asheville, within city limits and without a restrictive HOA, 65 Crestwood offers an increasingly rare combination of privacy, space, views and accessibility. The setting is established. The possibility is yours.
